SKYCITY Hamilton Waikato Women's team

SKYCITY Hamilton Waikato Women's team is set to play their first home game of the Farah Palmer Cup competition when they face Wellington Women at Marist Park on Saturday afternoon.

Head Coach, Wayne Maxwell, has made a few changes to his side. The front row remains unchanged, but in the second row Victoria Edmonds switches from blindside flanker to lock to partner Stephanie Hyde-Richards as the only change to the tight five.

With Edmonds moving to lock Michelle Montague shifts to blindside flanker, she is joined by Emma-Lee Heta who gets her first start at openside flanker in this competition, the remaining loose forward spot sees Natalie Delamare come off the bench to start at Number 8.

World Cup winning Black Ferns player Chelsea Alley returns to second five eight as the only change to the backline.
